DEVELOPING A FRAMEWORK FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY IN HIGH SCHOOL FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNERS

This research investigates the creation of an innovative framework designed to support independent foreign language learning for high school students. The proposed framework focuses on fostering learner autonomy by offering customized learning paths, incorporating advanced technologies such as AI tools and virtual reality, and providing access to a wide range of resources, including online platforms and cultural immersion experiences. The framework seeks to overcome common challenges, such as maintaining motivation and ensuring consistent progress, by utilizing self-assessment techniques, gamified learning elements, and opportunities for collaborative learning. Through a focus on flexibility and student engagement, the framework encourages learners to take ownership of their educational journey, promoting the development of lifelong language skills and a deeper understanding of different cultures.
